    It’s not even IT itself. I vaguely remember some fruit juice company changing its name from “fruit juice” to “fruit juice blockchain” or something, and doing nothing else, and it’s stock price jumping by 3x. The stock market somehow got into its head that tech companies play by fundamentally different rules than normal, are worth inherently more, never have to make profit or even a product, and will someday all be money printing monopolies.
